Wintv-HVR-1120 woes

Wintv-HVR-1120 woes

[Sasha Sirotkin]

I'm having all sorts of troubles with Wintv-HVR-1120 on Ubuntu 10.10
(kernel 2.6.35-22). Judging from what I've seen on the net, including
this mailing list, I'm not the only one not being able to use this
card and no solution seem to exist.

Problems:
1. The driver yells various cryptic error messages
("tda18271_write_regs: [1-0060|M] ERROR: idx = 0x5, len = 1,
i2c_transfer returned: -5", "tda18271_set_analog_params: [1-0060|M]
error -5 on line 1045", etc)
2. DVB-T scan (using w_scan) produces no results
3. Analog seems to work, but with very poor quality

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In addition, during analog scan, I get the following errors:

yes, indeed :(
(cf "Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1120 on Unbuntu 10.04" thread)

> 2. DVB-T scan (using w_scan) produces no results

Is this happening after each reboot? As far as I'm concerned, I've never had 
problems with DVB-T scans.

> 3. Analog seems to work, but with very poor quality

I just tried to use Analog TV in order to confirm the problem but I cannot get 
any picture. Maybe I just don't know how to use it. I'm using commands like 
(I'm located in France):

mplayer tv:// -tv driver=v4l2:norm=SECAM:chanlist=france -tvscan autostart

... and just get some "snow" on scanned channels.
As I might have a problem with my antenna (an interior one), I am going to 
test it under Windows and report back my experience.

Almost always. I think I had a lucky reboot or two, but most of the
time DVB-T scan produces nothing.

I'm trying to downgrade the kernel now to see if it helps

I went back as far as 2.6.30 and I still have this problem. 2.6.29
does not recognize this card at all.

Re: Wintv-HVR-1120 woes

[fabio tirapelle]

My WinTV-HVR-1120 works if I delete dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw and 
rename dvb-fe-tda10046.fw in dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw
(see cf "Hauppauge  WinTV-HVR-1120 on Unbuntu 10.04" thread).
After reboot my WinTV-HVR-1120 works. Ubuntu recognizes that the firmware isn't 
correct and doesn't load the firmware.
But I know that isn't a good practice.

How come it works without the firmware !? Is it possible that you
booted into Windows before that and there is a correct firmware
already running in the card ?

This is weird. I will try this workaround tonight.

I hope that anyone will eventually reveal an interest to solve this
bug. I'd happily do it myself, but I cannot really afford to spend
enough time to start digging into these sources, but I'm willing to
help.

Actually, I think that the dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw firmware is still
loaded in the TV card and that this scenario has not changed anything.

Fabio, have you tried to reboot several times in order to see if the
problem is really fixed?
And are you still getting some ERROR messages in `dmesg`? If not, this
is good but I don't understand :)

Yes, if "several times" means 3 times. But I think this isn't a good practice.
So I have bought another card (NOVA-T-Stick) and I wait for a real solution.

As I have written, the WinTV-1120 did work correctly with Ubunt 9.10. I haven't
had problems with this version of Ubuntu. But the linux-firmware-nonfree package 

for Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) didn't contain the dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw 
(see http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/all/linux-firmware-nonfree/filelist)
The dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw was introduced with lucid 
(see http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/linux-firmware-nonfree/filelist).
And now the question. Why without dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw I haven't had problems
and now with Ubuntu 10.04 I have problem exactly with this firmware?

So I have renamed the dvb-fe-tda10046.fw in  dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw but
I have seen that Ubuntu checks if the firmware is consistent.

In the next two days I cannot post my dmesg, as I cannot access to my
mediacenter. Tuesday night I will post it.

What you think about my consideration about Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04?

I did the same and it did not help me much - I get the same errors and
DVB scan does not work.

I have tried again.

rm -i dvb-fe-tda10048-1.0.fw

When you say works, what exactly do you mean? Can you try to run w_scan ?

Strange. I use kaffeine and it works really well (except when getting errors 
mentionned in 1.). I also tried to use w_scan as you talked about it, and it 
works (output available at the end of this email).
So, I'm trying to understand your problems :
 - Do you get errors? (in dmesg for example?)
 - Does it work under Windows? / Are you sure your antenna is good?

I set up a Windows so I'm sure my Analog TV is working.
After having set "SECAM" and "france" in /etc/tvtime/tvtime.xml, I have run 
tvtime-scanner and it seems to be successful:

However, I've seen a lot of errors related to tda18271 in `dmesg` and I can't 
get any picture when running tvime. Do you also get that kind of errors?


In order to solve the 1st problem (TV sometimes not working), I also try to 
boot under Windows in order to load the the original tda10048 firmware. Then, I 
started my Linux box several times (without the firmware available in 
/lib/firmware). After 4 boots, it fails so the firmware is probably not the 
sources of our problems.
Then, I've started to read the sources and the documentation of the saa7134 
chip. This documentation is not bad but it misses particularities of the 
Hauppauge HVR1120 such as how the different chips are plugged together. Did 
Hauppauge make this kind of documentation public? Does anyone know where can I 
find it?

Thanks,
